Hands-On: Apple’s New MacBook Neo, iPhone 17e and Other New Products

Apple Inc. this week unveiled a slate of new products, including the $599 MacBook Neo — its first true low-end laptop — and the iPhone 17e. The company also announced updated versions of the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Studio Display and iPad Air.

Notably, Apple raised pricing on the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro in response to the industrywide memory crunch, making upgrade decisions somewhat tougher. To soften the impact, the company increased base storage capacities across the lineup.
